Chen Mu came to find the lame man and told the chief bustard Suzaku's distress.

The lame man had a solemn expression and said reluctantly: "Since Childe has spoken, I think as long as you have a tough attitude, you will take Hanxiang away." ”

Chen Mu said lightly: "But in that case, it's a little unkind." Over the years, Hanxiang has cultivated a talent, participated in many performances, and has gained a large number of fans. The girl rarely looks good, and she herself hopes to participate in this fight. ”

Chen Mu sighed heavily: "How many opportunities can I have in life." ”

The cripple choked: "That's not a matter of honoring the ancestors." ”

Chen Mu frowned and said: "Dou Huakui, each contestant is first of all Qingqi who has not received guests, so on the first day she won the crown, her value was amazingly high. Because everyone knows that before this night, she was a girl. I'll take her away on the same day. ”

"Can you guarantee it?"

"Yes."

The cripple was still a little reluctant, and Chen Mu turned around to find Hanxiang.

Hanxiang and Yu Linglong knew that Chen Mu and the lame man went to see the chief bustard to discuss the redemption, so they were extremely nervous.

When Chen Mu came over, the two of them couldn't control their expressions, and their faces were full of expectation.

"Hanxiang, I'd like to talk to you alone." Chen Mu said softly.

Hanxiang turned her head to look at her mother.

Yu Linglong looked concerned and nodded.

The two came to a corner of the garden, and Chen Mu said bluntly: "Hanxiang, do you want to participate in the Oiran?" ”

Hanxiang gathered her sideburns: "For our group of women, from the day they became sensible, the highest dream was to win the Oiran and become a high-ranking lady, so that they could still have some vision for the future." In fact, not to mention the selection of Luoyang Oiran, it is extremely difficult to be selected in Wanhualou. Therefore, I studied hard, wrote poems, painted, sang, played the piano, and practiced dancing every day, and the competition was so fierce that I am afraid that my uncle could not have imagined. In order to excel themselves, many sisters challenged themselves to difficult dances and ended up injuring themselves. In fact, I am no exception, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am injured at a young age. Wanhualou Academy is eliminated at the end of each year, and every time you compete in the annual competition, once you lose, you may not have a chance with Qing Qi. ”

Chen Mu felt sad for a while: "That's not what I asked. ”

"What does Uncle want to ask?"

"If your household registration is no longer in Wanhualou, are you still willing to participate in the fight for Wanhualou?"

"Hanxiang doesn't quite understand what her uncle means."

"I mean, I don't want all your years of hard work to go down the drain." Chen Mu smiled and said, "Actually, your household registration is already in my hands, and I can take you away at any time." ”

"Really!" Hanxiang was so excited that his fingers trembled, and in order to hide it, he hid his hands in his sleeves and put them in front of him.

"Would you like to participate?" Chen Mu asked with a warm smile.

"I don't know if my uncle wants to. If my uncle wants it, I will. With fragrant and beautiful eyes, he said with affection.

"The boss bustard wants you to represent Wanhualou in this year's Oiran competition, and she wants you to win the reputation of Wanhualou." Chen Mu said with a comforting tone: "You don't have to be pressured, whether you win the Oiran or not, you can no longer become a prostitute." When the fight is over, I will take you to a distant and beautiful place that day. ”

Hanxiang bowed her head shyly and was silent.

Chen Mu could see that Hanxiang wanted to participate.

Although this Oiran is no longer as important to her as before, her more than ten years of dedication will not be wasted.

In the eyes of thousands of people, showing their beauty, this is not an opportunity that anyone can get, and girls also have their own dreams in their hearts.

Chen Mu planned to give her this opportunity, and at the same time fulfill his promise to Suzaku, just now he took Hanxiang's household registration, and also said to Suzaku that he would try his best to persuade Hanxiang to participate.

Then Chen Mu swaggered to find Suzaku.

"Sister Suzaku, in fact, I still don't understand it, you push Hanxiang as an oiran, it will cost a lot of money, and then she was taken away by me, aren't you even more at a loss?"

Suzaku smiled and said, "We did spend a lot of money, but most of it will flow back. Even if it costs me a million taels to push Hanxiang, in fact, in the end, it is only a little more than 100,000 taels. Most of this money was handed over to the government, after all, the government sent Jin Wuwei to maintain law and order. ”

"100,000 taels is not a small amount." Chen Mu sighed and said.

"I weighed that if Wanhualou misses the Oiran for five consecutive years, the impact on Wanhualou will be even greater. People will think that our Wanhualou is no longer good. In this way, good seedlings are even more reluctant to come to us. When the time comes, we will lose more, and the impact will be long-term. ”

Chen Mu nodded in agreement.

——

Regarding Hanxiang's participation, the cripple and Yu Linglong had an argument.

The lame man means that I, Huo Hongxun, am also a general, and my daughter is a tiger girl, how can she show up like a prostitute and compete for beauty.

But Yu Linglong persuaded: My daughter has paid too much in order to participate in the Oiran Fight, so you let her participate and fulfill her wish.

It stands to reason that it is best not to take care of other people's housework. But Chen Mu came to find the cripple with Yu Linglong's household registration:

"I said Brother Arita, your daughter-in-law's household registration is in my hands, how should this problem be solved?"

Chen Mu didn't plan to tell the lame man in advance that Hanxiang's household registration was also in his hands, so he saved the lame man from going crazy and ran away with his daughter.

The lame man's face tightened.

Chen Mu threw Yu Linglong's household registration to the lame man and said:

"My sister-in-law has a gold brick in her hand, which is enough to pay the slave tax, and we will go to the county to do this in a while."

The cripple didn't speak.

Yu Linglong smiled movingly, stood up and saluted Chen Mu, and said:

"Actually, what if my slavery is gone, I'll just go with him in the future. The money should be left for Hanxiang. ”

The cripple stood up: "Chen Mu, you still give me Hanxiang's household registration to get it back, as long as the household registration wants to come back, I will agree to let Hanxiang participate." Otherwise, I don't agree. ”

"Why?"

"It means a difference."

"Oh? What's the difference? ”

"The household registration is in my hands, and it is my Huo family's daughter who took the initiative to participate; The household registration is in Wanhualou, and in any case, she participates as a hall maid. I don't want my daughter to be a prostitute for a day. ”

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes: "Are you worried that after Hanxiang chooses the Oiran, Wanhualou will refuse to let go, right?" ”

The cripple was a little anxious: "Chen Mu, I know you have this ability." ”

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, turned around and left.

Until the end, Chen Mu refused to tell the cripple the truth, saving him from being uncontrollable, but when he was holding the lamp, Chen Mu told Yu Linglong about it, and Yu Linglong was so moved that she didn't know what to do, her legs were weak, and she knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu couldn't accept such a big gift, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

Again to the lame:

"The slave trade requires a certificate from the market. My sister-in-law's slavery, as well as the procedures on the Wanhualou side, I have completed all the formalities, Brother Arita, let's go to the Fang Office and hand over the slave status of my sister-in-law, which is always in my household registration, which is not appropriate. ”

The lame man was indignant, and went to the Pingkangfang Government Office to hand over the slave registration, and the big bustard Zhu May came forward to sign, and finally transferred Yu Linglong's slave registration to Zhang Youtian's name.

Chen Mu said to Zhu May that Yu Linglong would have to live in Wanhualou to accompany her daughter in the past few days, so don't drive her away yet.

Zhu May said that he was about to fight the Oiran, and the piano and dance teacher couldn't leave if he wanted to.

The lame man's face was full of unhappiness, and it was useless for Yu Linglong to persuade him, and then he ran to the small pavilion to sulk.

Chen Mu was worried that he would suffocate the lame, so he later took him to the edge of the Luo River and boarded the painting boat.

"Cripple brother, in terms of endurance, among the people I know, you are second to none. If there's one person who can compare to you, it's your daughter Hanxiang. Chen Mu took out Hanxiang's household registration and threw it to the lame man: "Your daughter told me personally that she wants to participate in the fight for the Oiran." For this fight, she waited for more than ten years and paid for more than ten years. How much bitterness, how much sweat. ”

Throwing a small stone into the water: "She has the same tenacious and stubborn blood flowing in her body as you do, are you willing to let her efforts come to naught?" ”
